HAUTLENCE XLXX Anniversary Edition

To know where you’re going, you must know where you come from. For independent avant- garde watchmaker HAUTLENCE, that mindset has never faltered. For 20 years, HAUTLENCE has paved the way for a new philosophy in watchmaking, one where design and mechanical kinetics take precedence over pure function. The passage of time itself is the performance, while the rest serves to enhance its dramatic effect.

A TV-shaped case, a jumping hours disk, and a retrograde minutes hand—these were the stars of HAUTLENCE’s first horologicalventure, dubbed simply the HL. 20 years later, the result of this unexpected and unprecedented combination has proven to be just as outlandish, singular, and captivating as ever. Using the original HL movement that made its debut in 2004, HAUTLENCE has redesigned the TV-shaped case as well as the dial for a special 20-piece anniversary edition. The HLXX bridges the past, present, and future of HAUTLENCE.
